Idea: pour (container) bloodied

[Marshmellow]

How about pouring water on items to wash bloodied/dusty off?  Just bloodied and/or dusty, maybe sweat-stained, but not stained or stinky.  Thoughts?

[MeTekillot]

Bathing is for nobles and fools.

[lordcooper]

Should be codedly possible, but very low priority.

Is Amos mcCommoner gonna do this?

EDIT: emote Several people stare in shocked disbelief and the thickie, npc half-giant laughs at the stupidity of @ as s/he pours clear water from ~skin onto ~n00b-boots.
clean n00b-boots dust
clean n00b-boots blood

Water, by itself, would cause those stains to set - not remove them.

[Marshmellow]

It could be set to work based on the target's material type.  Clothing it wouldn't work on, but rocks it would, etc.  On such things they stains wouldn't set in.

Possibly give it a chance to go to 'stained' like when you simply clean something without soap, but a smaller chance.  I would think, however, that it should have no chance of failing unlike when you clean without soap.

Would Amos McCommoner do this?  Maybe.  If he had no access to soap but wanted to RP getting the blood off of him and had ready access to water because he's at an oasis or something but because he's in the middle of hostile territory and there are predators that should be scent-based (at least partially) hunters, I would think it awesome if he did.  Honestly, I think it would be super awesome.  I'd do it.

As for priority?  Whatever.  It'd be awesome if something like this could go in, I think.  If the staff does for Arm1, I'd be ecstatic.  If they decide not to, but to implement it for Arm2, I'd still be damn happy.  If they decide not to implement it at all, oh well.  It's just an idea I'm tossing out and I'd just be happy if people like it.

one of the best coded features in the game is called 'emote'. With emote you can do all of those things you described. Infact, you might even clean regularly, and then just emote it out. And if you failed, well ... there are no absolutes. And gaaawd, is blood hard to get out.

Soap                                                           (Equipment)

   As might be expected, you can use soap to clean some items.  You must
either be holding or have the item to be cleaned in your inventory, and
must also be holding the soap or have it in your inventory. Soap has
limited uses, and will disappear when used up. It can be used to clean
bloody, sweaty, and sewer-stained items. For tougher stains, you may have
to resort to stronger means.

Syntax:
   use soap <object>

Example:
   use soap robe

See Also:
   clean, use

Protip #1: Soap isn't the only blood/sweat-cleaning device in the game.
Protip #2: You do NOT have to be "holding" the soap - in fact, it won't work if you are. You must have it out loose in your inventory, not held nor wielded.
Protip #3: See bolded part in the help file above.

Water is too precious to waste on washing in Zalanthas. At least, I think it would be. Maybe nobles and hoidy toidy Templars might wash, but the rest would probably be the great unwashed.

[HavokBlue]

Someone needs to invent the Zalanthan equivalent of OxyClean or Shamwow.

I know an obese, four-armed man who would disagree with you.

[X-D]

Thats not water, it is oxyclean and kalan fruit.

Psh, you think he changes that water out?

IDEA!

You should be able to buy really cheap, really dirty water from that guy.

[solera]

Soaking in stale piss works much better.

[Ampere]

Alright guys. Everyone needs to remember that there's over one million humanoids walking around, so it stands to reason there's quite a bit of water in zalanthas. Sure, scarcity in urban centers makes cleaning with water a luxury only the wealthy can afford, but there are also plenty of wealthy folks.

My 2 cents - It is hard for me to think of a feature that I would prioritize lower -- maybe "nose picking" or "ass wiping" features (lots of interesting questions here, that might offend modern western sensibilities) should be below this.
